Politics and Jesus

Jesus ate with sinners, we all fall in that category, He said, “I come for the sick” (Mark 2:13-17).

Vs. 17, “When Jesus heard it, He saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

“Our Lord’s confidence in God, and in what God’s grace could do for anyone, was so perfect that He never despaired, never giving up hope for any person. If our trust is placed in human beings we shall end in despairing of everyone.” Oswald Chambers, “My Utmost for His Highest” July 30th.

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS, “When a man’s heart is right with God the mysterious utterances of the Bible are spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart.” Bringing Sons Unto Glory, 231 L (https://utmost.org/classic/a-bond-slave-of-jesus-classic/)

"He brought me to his banquet hall and raised the banner of love over me. Restore my strength with raisins and refresh me with apples! I am weak from passion... His left hand is under my head and his right hand caresses me" - Song of Solomon 2:4-6
